Description Aims and Objectives
Vision: ‘To contribute towards the rehabilitation of prisoners through the provision of
a wide range of education and learning opportunities’
Mission: ‘To build a legacy that inspires prisoners to fully integrate into the
community, reducing the likelihood of re-offending, whilst building capacity and
ensuring accountability for its own operations’
Creative Learning in Prison (CLIP) was established in April 2013
The charity originally identified 4 pillars of activity being Art & Design,
Drama, Photography and Publishing
In addition to those courses offered by the prison through the
core curriculum, CLIP offers yoga, rug-craft, cookery, photography,
music and drama workshops and the production of the prison
magazine “Bang Up”
During 2016, the charity benefitted from several fund-raising streams
from local community projects (inc. schools, churches and parish
douzaines) which has allowed the charity to partially fund itself
Funds raised by CLIP are forecasted to grow with the planned
opening of the prison shop which will sell merchandise produced in
the prison workshops and classes as well as surplus vegetables
grown by prisoners on the horticulture site
